hmm i looked on the forum too thats why i decided to open one with them as usually take just cash, they did say i won't get charged for taking money out abroad when i opened the account... i hope they are right!

If you only opened a normal hsbc bank account you will be charged min 1.75 per withdrawal, however if you opened a bank account plus with them your withdrawals will be free, so will your travel insurance!!! I work for them

This is quite interesting. I think I will stick with my Nationwide account, which is totally free.

i bank with first direct part of hsbc and had free cash withdrawls last year at the hsbc cash machine in the centre

[Erik The Viking]

halifax was free for us last year.

[KerryM]

I have the hsbc plus account so should get it free

[JaxAngel]

yeah I opened a nationwide account 2 years ago and always transfer my money into there for my holidays, never had any problems with it

We forgot our Nationwide card
Its in with Passports
We change up in bars and supermarkets
ran out used HSBC card

I was charged one year for using my Halifax card to get money out. Also HSBC charged us £3 for taking out £200 over there, even from a HSBC account. I dont understand that though, HSBC have got banks over there so dont see why they should charge for taking money out.
